  1. So will this be one of nature's warning signs, like an ag tag?
  2. I'll point out here that Palau is under a Compact of Free Association with the United States, under which the US is responsible for all Palauan international defense issues (although we are not allowed to declare war on their behalf). That could be a interesting twist. (For those of you who are history buffs - okay, all of you - one of the Palauan islands is Peleliu, which any Marine will know.)
  3. We just needed a pimp cane. That would have fixed everything.
  4. Much as I enjoy seeing it, UW is too high. The schedule is a beating with @USC, Oregon, Utah, @Oregon State, along with an OOC jaunt to Michigan State and opening the season hosting Boise State. (That said, as a season ticket holder I like a schedule with Boise State, Utah, Oregon, and the Apple Cup in Husky Stadium.) So far DeBoer looks to have what it takes as a head coach, but it's only his 2nd season as a HC at this level, so we'll see. Still looking forward to it!
  5. Hate to say it, but Portugal deserved better. Glad we advanced, but having residency in Portugal too I'm a bit disappointed they couldn't have gone through as well. They played solid in all three matches. Hope there are some changes going into the knockouts or Sweden is going to feast on this team.
  6. Denaturalize. Deport. Fuck that guy.
  7. Kinda useless when they're always closed....
  8. Hoping to get down there again in the next year or so - sounds like my kind of people. As always, this thread delivers. Hope to meet a lot of you in Kyiv one day soon, helping to clean up huylo Putin's mess.
  9. Lol! VΓ‘ se foder indeed, Wagner shits. Pemba? Oh hell no. I've wanted to visit Ilha de MoΓ§ambique forever but shit was going down in the Nampula area as well, so that was right out. And Priggy? Vai tomar no cu, filho da puta.
  10. Yeah, I have a bit of a soft spot for MoΓ§ambique (despite my Portuguese being not much more than passable), but no way I'd go north. Drove around the mountains of Lesotho, no worries. Fuck around north of Beira? Not finding out. (Frankly, per an earlier comment, the West should give a damn about Mali, the CAR, the rest of Africa, and to a large extent Latin America, because not doing so just leaves it for China/Russia - who aren't necessarily popular - a Zambian friend told me they sure as hell knew what colonialism looked like a decade ago when the Chinese were buying up most of the mines in the Copper Belt - but sure as hell are throwing their weight around.)
  11. Having a coach named DeBoer seems to be a good thing.
  12. Fun season for the Squid. πŸ¦‘ You guys have a hell of a team - probably the most balanced left. Congrats and good luck!
  13. Heh. Photo caption on the Guardian live blog right now says "Supporters of outgoing Turkish president Erdoğan..." So let it be written, so let it be done.
  14. I'm so sorry, Nicole. Take care of yourself and your family.
  15. I don't like Pavs any more.
  16. Looking forward to it, @Longboard Horn. I just hope it's a good series. I'm a big Pavs fan and hope he's back soon, even though he had our number this season. For those wondering, game 3 in Seattle will almost certainly be Sunday as there's a concert at CPA Saturday. There's also a scheduled event next Tuesday but that one may be movable so I'd still think game 4 will be a week from tonight.
  17. It's all gravy. Looking forward to it. I like a lot of the Stars boys, just not this next week.
  18. Holy Squid shit! Cannot believe this. Thought we might get one in the series. We don't match up well at all with the Stars, who are as good as anyone in the West - but I'm going to game 3 in the second round! Unbelievable. Go Squid! πŸ¦‘
  19. The play was literally right in front of me, and even in real time this was what appeared to happen. I neither dislike the Avs nor Makar (except this week), but the puck went straight up, cleared the high netting, and was being caught by a fan when Makar hit McCann (who had clearly slowed). Makar was behind the play so how he could've missed where the puck went is beyond me. Georgiev wasn't even scrambling to find it.
  20. My seats are to the left of where you were, and higher (there's not a bad seat in the place; I've been about as far up in the corner as you can get and the seats were still great). That was by far the best crowd I've seen in the Squids' very short history. Saturday was a fun crowd but you got the impression half of 'em had never been to a hockey game and just wanted to see history. Tonight's crowd knew hockey.
  21. Gawd, I hate the off-season.
  22. No prescription drugs, eh? Well, carry on, then.
